Lindal and Marton community website
September 8, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Place names in Cumbria arise from a variety of languages and periods of history. These include Old English, spoken by the Anglo-Saxons from the 6th to 12th centuries, and Old Norse, spoken by the Norwegians who colonised north west England from the 9th to the 12th centuries.
The name Lindal (originally Lindale) is probably of Norse origin, derived from ‘Linden’, an alternative name for a Lime tree, and ‘dale’ meaning valley, ie valley of Lime trees. However, it is also possible that the name is of Celtic origin, meaning village around a deep pond.

Caldbeck
September 7, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment
Caldbeck is situated just outside of Carlisle in the NW of England.
It has recently been put on the map by being one of only two sites in the country to require the building of a new TV mast for Digital TV.
Caldbeck Parish lies at the foot of the Northern Fells. Carrock Fell, High Pike, and Longlands overlook it, with the peak of Skiddaw sometimes visible beyond. It stretches from High Intack in the west to Haltcliff Bridge in the east and from the north at Blue Gate to the south at Linewath.
Caldbeck Parish is within the jurisdiction of Allerdale Borough Council and most of it, only excluding a small section north of the village of Caldbeck, lies within the Lake Distict National Park.
Caldbeck Parish is a beautiful and quiet rural area. It is popular with tourists, walkers and cyclists and is a very desirable place to live and bring up children, or to retire to from more crowded rural districts. It is difficult to believe that it was one of the most industrialised parts of England.
